D A7sus4
And I’m sendin’ you out this signal here,
D A7sus4
I hope you can pick it up loud and clear.
A7/D to D A7/D to D G/D
I know you don’t like weak women,
D7 G/D A7/D to D A7/D to D
You get bored so quick
G/D D7 G/D A7/D to D A7/D to D G/D
And you don’t like strong wo-men,
D7 G/D A7/D to D A7/D to D
‘Cause they’re hip to your tricks,
G/D D7 G/D G G6 G G6
It’s been dir-ty for dirty down the line,
G G6
But you know I come when you whistle,
A7/D to D A7/D to D G/D D7 G/D D
When you’re lo- -vin’ and kind
D A7sus4
But if you’ve got too many doubts,
D A7sus4
If there’s no good reception for me then tune me out
A7/D to D A7/D to D G/D
‘Cause honey, who needs the sta-tic?
D7 G/D A7/D to D A7/D to D
It hurts the head
G/D D7 G/D A7/D to D A7/D to D G/D
And you wind up cra-ckin’
D7 G/D A7/D to D A7/D to D G/D D7 G/D
And the day goes dis-mal from
G G6 G G6
“Break-fast Barney” to the sign- - off prayer,
G G6 G G6
What a sorry face you get to wear.
G G6 G G6
I’m gonna tell you a-gain now if you’re still list’nin there,
D Dmaj7
If you’re drivin’ into town with a dark cloud above you
G/D A7sus4
Dial in the number who’s bound to love you.
D Dmaj7
If you’re lyin’ on the beach with a tran- sistor going
G/D A7sus4
Kick off the sandflies, honey, the love’s still flowing.
D Dmaj7
If your head says, “Forget it!” but your heart’s still smokin’
G/D A7sus4
Call me at the station, the lines are open.
D – Dmaj7
G/D
Doo doo doo doo
A7sus4
Doo-D-D-doo doo
D Dmaj7 G/D A7sus4 D Dmaj7 G/D A7sus4
Uh-huh uh-huh un-huh.
